Free Games for Gold Coming to Xbox One

The Microsoft Games with Gold program is officially coming to the Xbox One, a Microsoft official said today.

Microsoft's Larry Hryb, otherwise known as Major Nelson, said in a tweet that the program, which offers two free games per month to Xbox live Gold members, will carry over to the Xbox One. He also said details are coming "later in 2014," meaning the offers won't start on Xbox One right away. There's still no word on when the program will end for Xbox 360, though.

As of now, A World of Keflings is the promoted game on Xbox 360, and will be replaced on November 16 by Iron Brigade, the Double Fine-developed title formerly known as Trenched. Previously offered games include Halo 3, Assassin's Creed II, Dead Rising 2, Fable III, and Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes.

The Xbox One launches November 22 in 13 global territories.
